This is a QA position, with technical skill, but still not a software development. I started out my career doing this kind of work, it paid the bills when going while at college, but once I set out to get my BS in CS I don't think this kind of work would have been enough to challenge me. |

Many people see QA as "entry level", a bunch of monkeys banging on a keyboard of some business app trying to make it fail. But, a good QA person knows how to plan a test, write test plans, define boundary testing, define surface area for security attacks, and then write code to automate it all including controlling the environment etc. QA can be a very technical and challenging job.

Most QA is moving towards automated testing which, depending on the tool requires a knowledge of PERL, UNIX shell scripting, Java, VB, SQL, JCL and/or C. My last job was working for Satan, er, a major healthcare insurance company working on validating their Claim Book of Record. I had to learn Mainframe tools, SQL, JCL and write macros that would do textfile comparisons (without worrying about "false positives" due to dates, white space etc). |

There are only 10 types of people in the world —
those who understand ternary, those who don't, and those who mistake it for binary. |
